Following the disclosure of his plans to depart Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe has also identified his future destination. The nearly three-year ‘soap opera’ saga surrounding the French sensation’s transfer has culminated in a five-year agreement with Real Madrid. A deal that has demanded some pay cuts but is still being hailed as the most expensive free transfer in soccer history.
The official announcement regarding this significant shift remains pending. Reportedly, both parties are poised to make the announcement when PSG and Real Madrid can no longer face each other in the Champions League. Considered against this backdrop, it warrants exploring Mbappe’s current net worth and salary following this monumental agreement.

Renowned for his skills on the field, Kylian Mbappe stands as a leading figure among contemporary soccer players. His acclaim is matched by impressive compensation, with his 2024 net worth approximated at roughly $180 million. This substantial wealth principally originates from his professional soccer career, alongside supplementary earnings from endorsements and brand collaborations. Some of his major endorsements include Hublot, EA Sports, and Nike.
During his time playing for Paris Saint-Germain, the 25-year-old’s annual wage was approximately $80.8 million. However, this figure has seen a significant reduction following his transfer agreement to Real Madrid. As per BBC, the World Cup winner will earn an estimated annual salary of around $16 million at his new club.
The contract will run for five years and Kylian Mbappe will collect an overall salary tallying up to $80 million. But the financial provisions extend beyond simply salaried remuneration. Included in the Paris-born’s contract is a remarkable signing-on bonus valued at $160 million.

Currently, with PSG, Kylian Mbappe dons the Number 7 shirt. Nevertheless, upon his transition to Real Madrid, it might prove challenging for him to retain this number due to its current occupation by Vinicius Junior. Presently, only Number 9 is unoccupied and stands as a potential contender for the Frenchman’s new digit. Still, yet, there exists another possibility. The Number 10 Jersey is presently worn by Luka Modric, whose contract concludes at the end of this season.

The likely departure of Modric could render Number 10 available for occupancy by Mbappe, the same number he proudly wears for France’s National team. All eyes now turn toward the summer transfer window as it carries with it the much-anticipated signing in action.
